Weather systems expected to continue pushing winds and rain into Whatcom County

WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — The Seattle office of the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a wind advisory between 2pm today, Tuesday, October 28, 2025, and midnight tonight due to expected southeast wind gusts up to 45mph.

A high-pressure weather system is expected to pass over the area tomorrow bringing a temporary break from wind and rain later in the day.

Rain is expected to increase Friday night as an atmospheric river initially takes aim at Vancouver Island, the Olympic Peninsula, and northern portions of the Cascades. The tap of moisture is then expected to slowly sag southward across the CWA during the day on Saturday.

Conditions are expected to remain unsettled into the beginning of next week as the flow turns more zonal and a number of weaker systems move across the area.
